Learning outcomes
The course aims at providing students with a general knowledge of the contemporary theoretical political debate and its historical evolution, through the study of some of its key issues, the reading, and discussion of classic texts and the analysis of the impact they had, throughout the history of political thought. Beginning to question what is politics, by the end of the class, the student is expected to:
- make an appropriate use of the political lexicon;
- be aware of the permanence and obsolescence of some traditions of thought in the contemporary political debate;
- be able to identify and analyze the differences between classical, modern and contemporary political theories;
- be able to examine, describe and compare how different approaches work to solve a given political issue;
- be able to write a paper and make a presentation on a selected topic in political theory, with a historical awareness.

Double degree
The University of Verona, through a network of agreements with foreign universities, offers international courses that enable students to gain a Double/Joint degree at the time of graduation. Indeed, students enrolled in a Double/Joint degree programme will be able to obtain both the degree of the University of Verona and the degree issued by the Partner University abroad - where they are expected to attend part of the programme -, in the time it normally takes to gain a common Master’s degree. The institutions concerned shall ensure that both degrees are recognised in the two countries.
Places on these programmes are limited, and admissions and any applicable grants are subject to applicants being selected in a specific Call for applications.
The latest Call for applications for Double/Joint Degrees at the University of Verona is available now!
